Chapter 156: PDA Results In Death
As Shen Tian stood up, the joints in his whole body were cackling.
The golden lightning returned between his brows, and his hair, which was originally standing up, also dropped back down.
He turned to look around. Shen Tian discovered that the huge mountain valley had turned into complete ruins now.
His whole body was covered in dust and ashes, and he looked like he was in a mess, which upset him.
"Blow it all away!"
A surge of his Qi turned into a blower, exploding out from within Shen Tian's body.
In an instant, all the dust and ashes were blown away, and his clothes were clean once again.
Currently, Shen Tian was wearing his armor, and on his face was the Phoenix Feather Mask. He stood there proudly, aloof from the world with unparalleled manner and deportment!
He looked at the center of the mountain valley, which was hollow, and hesitated for that moment.
Should I go and check the situation?
According to the scene of the fortuitous opportunity in Fang Chang's halo, this should be the opportunity he encountered, but the timing was not correct.
That's right, Shen Tian had come too early…
According to the situation analysis, if Shen Tian had come later by one to two days, he would not encounter the Divine Binding Vines attacking the city.
Of course, with Shen Tian's halo, he might not be able to find this place by himself.
Thus, in conclusion, it could be said to be a blessing in disguise. Currently, it was still worth it.
The Fog Plain's spirit fog had yet to disperse, so it enshrouded the mountain once again.
However, after devouring a large amount of Divine Binding Vine juices, Shen Tian's immunity toward the Spirit Fog had also reached an extremely high degree. He could vaguely see that there were no movements within the mountain valley, so Lu Ji should have turned into ashes under the Heavenly Tribulation.
Haha, who told you to PDA in front of me?
After cultivating for thousands of years, don't you even know the logic of the more you PDA, the faster you die?
Of course, even so, Shen Tian did not recklessly barge into the center of the mountain valley, but instead, he took the long way round. He wanted to observe the center of the mountain valley from all directions to ensure that there would not be problems like previously.
Since Lu Ji was a powerful being that tried transcending the tribulation, who knew if she had anything else up her sleeves?
Shen Tian walked around the mountain valley, and his eyes suddenly lit up as he saw something good. There was a ball of fire burning on the remaining withered and rotten body of the Divine Devouring Vine. It was not spreading nor extinguishing.
Shen Tian recognized that it was the Nan Ming Li Fire's Origin that Sword Venerable Qian Yang had summoned previously. It was shot out after the Nan Ming Li Fire's Origin broke apart. That was only part of the Nan Ming Li Fire's Origin, as it only had a small portion of the power of when Sword Venerable Qian Yang had the Nan Ming Li Fire's Origin in his hands.
Shen Tian saw that the ball of fire was crimson red. It was active, like a small phoenix, and seemed to be quite powerful.
Meanwhile, when Shen Tian discovered this ball of flames, a familiar excited emotion surged within him again—'I want it'!
That's right, it was the energy from the Tinder Sutra, showing its desire for the flames to Shen Tian.
Shen Tian felt resigned. Why do you want to devour anything and everything!?
Nonetheless, Shen Tian was naturally willing as his cultivation technique could devour the Nan Ming Li Fire. The only thing Shen Tian was worried about was that he already had the First Essence Heavy Water in his kidney, was there still space for the Nan Ming Li Fire?
They won't directly clash with each other within me due to being incompatible, then cause me to explode, right!?
Hmm… No, I can't take the risk!
Safety is first. Cultivating is second.
At that thought, Shen Tian took out a stone box carefully. It was something he had obtained from the Spirit Venerable Divine Water's palace when he had been at the Celestial Water Immortal Abode.
There were originally three boxes, and this was one of them. It had initially been filled with First Essence Heavy Water. Shen Tian took it out, carefully placed Nan Ming Li Fire's Origin within, and sealed it.
Although his body really wanted it, Shen Tian was not a weak person that would be dominated by his body's desire. He could totally resist and not eat it!
After placing the Nan Ming Li Fire's Origin into the stone box, he stored it in his Archeon Sea Ring. Shen Tian then continued to walk in a circle around the center of the mountain valley to investigate.
Shen Tian completely circled it by one round and discovered that there was nothing wrong, so he took out his Sword Master Token and carefully headed inside. He held the Sword Master Token in his left hand and his Black Tortoise Shield in his right with the nine Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns floating behind him.
Currently, Shen Tian was armed to the teeth—he strived to be perfectly safe.
Finally, Shen Tian walked toward the center of the mountain valley step by step.
He saw a small silver pond in there, and it was emitting a heavenly aura.
Before Shen Tian even touched the pond water, he felt that his whole body was relaxed.
The pond of water was emitting an abundance of vitality, and it seemed as if just a drop could revive people and grow flesh from bone.
Shen Tian roughly guessed that this was the juice essence of Lu Ji, who had absorbed a vast amount of Spirit Qi these few thousands of years.
This spirit spring was created only by sacrificing 90% of the Divine Devouring Vine's physical body. The Divine Devouring Vine was 3,000 meters long, and its roots permeated the whole Spirit Fog mountain valley. Thus, the preciousness of this spirit spring could be seen—it was definitely a priceless treasure!
One had to know that even if Fang Chang, who had a gold halo, only obtained a small pool of spirit spring…
Eh? Cough, cough… Wait!!!
Shen Tian was astounded.
Something is wrong!
That's right! It's too much!
Why would there be this much!?
In the scene of Fang Chang's fortuitous opportunity, it was just a small spirit spring, at most about half a cubic meter. However, the spirit spring Shen Tian saw now was far beyond just half a cubic meter!
This is a freaking small pond!
After a casual look, Shen Tian knew that the small pond was five meters wide and its depth was not shallower than one meter. In other words, this spirit spring was over 10 times more than the spirit spring Fang Chang had encountered!
This did not make Shen Tian happy at all. Instead, he instantly became extremely cautious.
Just where did the dozens of square meters of the spirit spring go? Are there other people in this mountain valley?
Shen Tian held the Sword Master Token tightly, ready to summon the sword spirit at any moment, when suddenly a small thing appeared from within the small pond, forming a small splash.
It was a one-meter-long vine, its whole body emerald in color. It squirmed its body relaxingly in the spirit spring, splashing the water. It seemed to be quite cheerful.
When it came out of the water, it instantly exchanged gazes with Shen Tian—they had directly met face to face!
They were both instantly petrified. Shen Tian and the small vine's body froze as they stared at each other without moving.
Shen Tian could feel that his palm was filled with cold sweat as he was panicking.
The color of the small vine in front of him was obviously that of a Divine Devouring Vine, and it might even be related to Lu Ji.
Who knew just how strong this small vine was? What if it could kill a Nascent Soul or Soul Formation cultivator in one shot? Wouldn't Shen Tian be dead once he made a move?
You can't see me! You can't see me!
Shen Tian kept on praying in his heart, but he did not succeed.
The miniature Divine Devouring Vine had obviously discovered Shen Tian as it attacked!
It suddenly trembled, and then silver spirit spring water was shot toward Shen Tian. Meanwhile, it abruptly headed toward the bottom of the spirit spring and started to drill into the soil crazily.
That's right, this miniature Divine Devouring Vine had chickened out and was escaping to the bottom.
Shen Tian, who was already prepared beforehand, suddenly activated his protective barrier to the maximum output. However, nothing happened to the protective barrier after the spirit spring water shot onto it.
Shen Tian sensed that the force's impact was at most equal to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator's attack.
"…"
Seeing the miniature Divine Devouring Vine, which kept on heading deeper into the ground by drilling into the soil, it was evident that it was afraid of Shen Tian.
Shen Tian was elated.
Since you're afraid of me, then I'm not afraid of you!
Little demon, let me subdue you!
